NEW OUTLOOK FOR 2023 (Updated 16 October
2023)
Supported by the current contract base and the projected growth
of SaaS (Software as a Service) net sales, QPR expects the growth
of SaaS net sales to be more than 35% and estimates that the entire
net sales will remain at the same level as in 2022 (2022: 7,823
thousand euros).
The company expects EBITDA to improve considerably and end up
clearly positive in the 2023 financial year. EBITDA in 2022 was
–1,753 thousand euros.
PREVIOUS OUTLOOK FOR 2023
The exceptional circumstances caused by increased interest rate,
inflation, and a market downturn in Europe continue to affect new
customer acquisition, companies' investments, and prolong
decision-making in early 2023.
Supported by the current contract base and the projected growth
of SaaS (Software as a Service) net sales, QPR expects the growth
of SaaS net sales to be more than 35% and estimates that the entire
net sales increase in 2023 (2022: 7,823 thousand euros).
The company expects the EBITDA to improve considerably and reach
the break-even point in the financial year 2023. The EBITDA in 2022
was - 1,753 thousand euros.
CEO HEIKKI VEIJOLA:
“The third quarter of the year was successful for QPR in many
ways. This can be seen in the company's Q3's clear net sales
increase of 23 %. SaaS (Software as a service) revenue continued to
increase by +33 %. Also, EBITDA was clearly positive: EUR 242
thousand and improved significantly from last year and the previous
quarter above our expectations. Because of this, we gave on 16
October a new outlook for the whole year.
The growth of the third quarter is the result of successes,
especially in the Middle East market. The most significant of these
was the first process mining SaaS contract in the Middle East. The
customer is an advanced investment and financial company that is
committed to supporting its customers' financial objectives and
promoting the economic growth and development of the area. The
company succeeded in closing the previous year's sold Middle East
fixed-price software delivery projects, which had prolonged
negative impact on the company's business and profitability. We
believe that the Middle East will provide us with significant
opportunities to continue our growth and add value to our
customers.
The general uncertainty of the global economy has continued, and
the acquisition of new customers has been slower than expected,
while simultaneously the companies' investment decision-making time
has increased. Supported by the current contract base and growth of
SaaS (Software as a Service) net sales, QPR expects the growth of
SaaS net sales to be more than 35% and estimates that the entire
net sales is at the same level as in the comparison period. The
company's measures to improve its operations, cost structure and
business profitability have produced significant results, and we
expect the EBITDA to improve considerably to be clearly positive in
the financial year 2023.
In July-August, we implemented a directed share issue, which
main purpose was to strengthen the company's capital and financial
position. As a result of the share issue, we raised net proceedings
of around € 700,000. I am pleased with the result of the directed
share issue and would warmly want to thank the investors for their
support and confidence in QPR's vision, strategy, leadership and
future. A successful share issue brought expected improvement to
the company's capital and financial position and gives us the
opportunity to focus on implementing our strategic plans.
At the beginning of September, we announced that the company is
repositioning itself as a leading player in Digital Twin of An
Organization (DTO). The QPR DTO solution enables the creation of a
digital copy of the company's entire business, storing its various
areas, processes and data. This provides organizations with a
completely new opportunity to design, analyze, and lead their
complex business initiatives and make intelligent, data-based
decisions.
Repositioning is an integral part of the company's journey of
change. We develop our product range, improve our service offering,
and strengthen our partnerships to ensure that our customers have
access to the most advanced software products on the market. QPR is
the only player in the market that has all the different aspects of
the Digital Twin of An Organization; process mining, modelling, and
strategy and digital transformation management. QPR supplies
different modules individually or together. We also provide
consulting for all these areas.
One of the key objectives of the company in the second half of
the year has been, in addition to the growth in software sales and
profitability, to strengthen the ecosystem to better serve the
overall needs of our customers. I think we have done well here. I
believe that our ability to find like-minded partners who share our
commitment to excellence, innovation and customer-oriented
solutions, not only expands our foothold in the market, but also
rises an ecosystem that is the basis for long-term growth and
sustainability.
Our medium-term goals are to find partners also for the US
market. QPR ProcessAnalyzer is globally the only software that
operates natively at Snowflake Data Cloud. This means solving
problems related to performance, scaling and security. The majority
of Snowflake's customers are in the US market. QPR has initiated
activities regarding the market perception of the partner network
during the third quarter of the year.
Yesterday, we published inside information, where we informed
about the company's plan to start change negotiations. The
background of the change negotiations is the repositioning of the
company as a leading player in Digital Twin of an Organization
(DTO) technology and the optimization of the company's organization
in line with this goal. In addition, some of the consulting
projects in the domestic public sector outside the core business
have ended prematurely or they are realized smaller than their
original scope. This will reduce the net sales at the end of the
year, and the company's net sales for the whole fiscal year will
remain at the level of the previous year. Change negotiations are a
necessary step to ensure that the company's structure and
operations correspond to the change in business focus and the
company's long-term vision and goals.
I would like to warmly thank our customers, partners and
shareholders for their confidence in QPR during the third quarter
of the year. I also want to thank all our employees for their
dedication and hard work for the company's future and success.”

JULY-SEPTEMBER 2023
The net sales July-September was EUR 1,806 thousand (EUR 1,468)
and increased by 23 % compared to the comparison period. Recurring
revenue accounted for 60 % of the total net sales (66).
The net sales of software licenses was 174 thousand euros (56),
and it grew by 208%, mainly due to the license agreement in the
Middle East.
The net sales of renewable software licenses was 78 thousand
euros (80), decreasing -3% from the combined effect of the
termination of individual customer contracts, the transition to the
SaaS-service model, and new contracts and price increases.
The net sales of software maintenance services was 428 thousand
euros (452), and it decreased by 5%, partly due to customer churn,
negative exchange rate changes and the current customers transition
to the SaaS-service model, which in turn were compensated by the
expansion of collaboration with existing customers, new customers,
and price increases against inflation pressure.
SaaS net sales grew by 33%, to 585 thousand euros (441). The
increase in revenue from SaaS-services was a result not only of the
company's announcement in December 2022 of expanding the use of QPR
ProcessAnalyzer's SaaS solution with a global pharmaceutical
company, but also of the company's other successes in expanding
collaboration with existing customers. The growth was also partly
due to customers transitioning from licenses to the SaaS-service
model, and partly due to the company's price increases caused by
inflation pressure.
The net sales of consulting was 541 thousand euros (438), and it
increased by 24% mainly due to the reversal of the revenue
recognition recorded during the third quarter of the reference year
2022 related to the net sales of the fixed-price project in the
Middle East. The fixed-price projects in the Middle East have been
completed during the second quarter.
The Group’s net sales was 49% (48) from Finland, 40% (33) from
the rest of Europe (including Turkey) and 11% (20) from the rest of
the world.
JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2023
The net sales for January-September was 5,951 thousand euros
(5,680), and it increased by 5% from the comparison period. The
share of recurring revenue in net sales was 58% (55).
The net sales of software licenses was 383 thousand euros, and
it grew by 7%. This was mainly the result of higher license sales
in Europe and the Middle East, which in turn was reduced by the
expiration of fixed-term license agreements and the transition to a
SaaS-service agreement model.
The net sales of renewable software licenses was 453 thousand
euros, and it decreased by 11%. This is the result of the end of
the business of an individual customer due to the war of aggression
in Ukraine started by Russia, individual other customer exits, and
the transition of existing customers to the SaaS service model.
Price increases against inflation pressure partially eliminate the
effects of the decline in net sales.
The net sales of software maintenance services was 1,272
thousand euros, and it decreased by 8% compared to the comparison
period. Net sales decreased due to customers transitioning to the
SaaS-service model, the negative impact of the exchange rate, and
the termination of service contracts for individual customers. The
increase in net sales was influenced by the expansion of existing
customer contracts and the acquisition of new customers.
The net sales of SaaS-services was 1,754 thousand euros, and it
was 43% higher compared to the comparison period. The increase in
revenue from SaaS services was a result not only of the expansion
of the use of QPR ProcessAnalyzer's SaaS solution with a global
pharmaceutical company announced by the company in December 2022,
but also because of the company's other successes in expanding
collaboration with existing customers, as well as new customer
acquisition. The growth was also partly due to customers switching
from licenses to the SaaS-service model, and partly due to the
company's price increases against inflation pressure.
The net sales of consulting was 2,089 thousand euros (2,200),
and it decreased by 5% mainly due to the higher revenue recognition
of fixed-price projects in the Middle East recorded during the
comparison period and the higher consulting revenue of the public
sector, which in turn were compensated by the increased
product-related consulting revenue of the private sector during the
reporting period. The fixed-price projects in the Middle East have
been completed during the second quarter of 2023.
The Group’s net sales was 49% (48) from Finland, 40% (33) from
the rest of Europe (including Turkey) and 11% (20) from the rest of
the world.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
JULY-SEPTEMBER 2023
The group's EBITDA increased in July-September and was 242
thousand euros (-853) and the operating profit was -12 thousand
euros (-1,102). The result for the period was -37 thousand euros
(-1,111). Although the company's result was still loss-making,
compared to the comparison period, it has developed significantly
thanks to the measures that the company actively took to improve
the efficiency of operations, improve the cost structure and
business profitability.
The group's variable costs were 147 thousand euros (406).
Expenses decreased mainly due to the fact the challenging software
delivery projects in the Middle East were completed during the
second quarter of the year. The need for the use of external
services also decreased accordingly.
The company's fixed costs were 1,671 thousand euros (2,164), and
they decreased by 23% compared to the comparison period. This was
the result of the savings programs implemented in the last quarter
of 2022 and the second quarter of 2023, as well as the personnel
reductions made as a result of change negotiations. The effect of
these was partially reduced by lower R&D activations.
The liquidation of the credit loss provision, which is included
in the fixed costs of the third quarter, was 1 thousand euros
(Q3'22: liquidation 2).
The result before taxes was -37 thousand euros (-1,111), and the
result for the review period was -37 thousand euros (-1,111).
Earnings per share were EUR -0.02 (-0.069) per share.
JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2023
The group's EBITDA was positive in January-September and was 275
thousand euros (-1,324). The company's operating profit was still
negative at -468 thousand euros, but it improved significantly
compared to the comparison period (-2,090) thanks to the measures
that the company actively took to improve the efficiency of
operations, improve the cost structure and business
profitability.
The group's variable costs were 762 thousand euros (1,141), and
they decreased by 33% compared to the comparison period. Costs
decreased mainly due to the fact the challenging software delivery
projects in the Middle East were completed during the second
quarter of the year. The need for the use of external services also
decreased accordingly.
The group's fixed costs were 5,658 thousand euros (6,629), i.e.,
15% lower than the comparison period due to the personnel
reductions and savings implemented in the last quarter of 2022 and
the second quarter of 2023. Lower R&D activations partially
reduced the effects.
The reversal of the credit loss provision, which is included in
the fixed costs of the half-year period, was one (1) thousand euros
(January-September 2022: 0).
The result before taxes was -555 thousand euros (-2,119) and the
result for the review period was –555 euros (-2,119). Earnings per
share were EUR -0.031 (-0.147) per share.
FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
Cash flow from operations in the review period January-September
was 20 thousand euros (-2,042). The change in operating cash flow
compared to the comparison period 2022 was the result of a
significant improvement in the result of the review period of 1,565
thousand euros and 608 thousand euros in working capital
changes.
Trade and other receivables were EUR 429 thousand lower compared
to the comparison period due to enhanced collection of trade
receivables and invoicing of completed projects in the Middle
East.
Net financing costs were 87 thousand euros (30), and they
included exchange rate losses of 12 thousand euros (7).
The investments were 511 thousand euros (1,164), and they were
product development investments.
The net cash flow of the financing was 656 thousand euros,
consisting mainly of 703 thousand euros from the company's directed
share issue, as well as rent payments for the company's premises.
In the comparison period 2022, the net cash flow of the company's
financing was 2,880 thousand euros, which was mainly the result of
the company's implemented rights issue.
The financial situation of the group is fair. At the end of the
review period, the group's cash and cash equivalents were 181
thousand euros (36) and short-term receivables were 2,077 thousand
euros (2,361). In addition, the group has available other
short-term cash resources of 500 thousand euros. At the end of the
review period, the group had a bank loan, of which EUR 1.0 million
was long-term and EUR 500 thousand was short-term. Covenants are
attached to the loan, which is based on the company's EBITDA and
equity ratio. Regarding the covenants, the EBITDA is tested every
six months, and the equity ratio is tested annually according to
the situation on the last day of the year. EBITDA for the first
half of the year exceeded the limit defined by the covenants.
The company renewed the financing agreement with its main
financing bank on January 24, 2023, according to which the previous
short-term loan of EUR 1.5 million was converted into a long-term
loan. According to the financing agreement, the first installment
of 0.5 million euros is due on January 31, 2024. After this,
installments of 0.5 million euros are due annually in January. The
last loan repayment date is January 24, 2026. The company withdrew
the loan during the first quarter of the year.
Net debt in relation to equity (gearing) was 257,2% (115,8%) and
the equity ratio at the end of the review period was 13,7% (27.7%).
The net debt ratio and the equity ratio were affected by the
decrease in equity and cash resources, as well as the 5.5-year
lease agreement for the company's head office premises concluded in
the last quarter of 2022, where the monthly rental costs were
significantly lower. The company entered into a new lease at the
end of June 2023 due to the extensive water damage that occurred in
the premises of its Helsinki head office. The lease term of the
premises under renovation was shortened by about two years, and as
the rent for the temporary bypass space was lower, the total rental
debt and right-of-use assets decreased significantly.
With the new lease agreement, the total lease term of the
company's head office will be shortened, and it will reduce the
company's lease debt. The new, smaller, and more affordable
temporary offices will also reduce the right-of-use assets.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
QPR innovates and develops software products that analyze,
measure, and model operations in organizations. The Company
develops the following software products: QPR ProcessAnalyzer, QPR
EnterpriseArchitect, QPR ProcessDesigner, and QPR Metrics.
In the third quarter of the year, product development expenses
were EUR 248 thousand (710). R&D expenses worth EUR 80 thousand
(364) were capitalized. The amortization of capitalized R&D
expenses was EUR 220 thousand (249).
The amortization period for capitalized R&D expenses is four
years.
PERSONNEL
At the end of the review period, the Group employed a total of
52 people (88). The average number of personnel during
January-September was 60 (78). The number of personnel has
decreased as a result of change negotiations that ended in the last
quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2023.
The average age of employees was 47 (44) years. Women account
for 23% (25) of employees, and men for 76% (75). Of all the
personnel, 16% (17) work in sales and marketing, 40% (45) in
consulting and customer service, 33% (30) in product development
and 11% (8) in administration.
For incentive purposes, the company has a bonus program covering
the entire personnel. The top management's short-term remuneration
consists of monetary salary, fringe benefits and a possible annual
bonus, mainly determined by the net sales development of the group
and profit units. In addition, the company has an option program
for key personnel.

as well as on the acquisition of own shares.
Annual accounts and the use of the profit shown on the
balance sheet
The Annual General Meeting adopted the Company’s financial
statements and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and
the CEO from liability for the financial period January 1 –
December 31, 2022. The Annual General Meeting resolved that no
dividend be paid based on the balance sheet adopted for the
financial year ended on December 31, 2022.
Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors
and the Auditor
The Annual General Meeting resolved that the Chairman of the
Board of Directors be paid EUR 45,000 per year and the other
members of the Board of Directors EUR 25,000 per year.
Approximately 40 percent of the remuneration will be paid in shares
and 60 percent in cash. The shares will be granted as soon as
possible after the Annual General Meeting and if the insider
regulations allow it. The members of the Board of Directors will
also be reimbursed for travel and other expenses incurred while

correspond to the responsibility for the auditor oversight
stipulated in the amended Finnish Auditing Act (1141/2015) and
further so that the term of the auditor shall end at the closing of
the first Annual General Meeting following the election. Article 9
was amended to enable holding a general meeting entirely without a
meeting venue as a so-called remote meeting in addition to the

to certain legislation changes stipulating the matters to be
resolved upon in an Annual General Meeting.
Reduction of the share capital

registered share capital from EUR 1,359,090 to EUR 80,000, i.e. by

capital requires a public notice in accordance with the Finnish
Companies Act.

shares
The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of
Directors to decide on issuances of new shares and conveyances of
the own shares held by the Company (share issue) either in one or
more instalments. The share issues can be carried out against
payment or without consideration on terms to be determined by the
Board of Directors. The authorization also includes the right to
issue special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the
Finnish Companies Act, which entitle to the Company's new shares or
own shares held by the Company against consideration. Based on the
authorization, the maximum number of new shares that may be issued

Meeting.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Internal control and risk management at QPR Software aim to
ensure that the Company operates efficiently and effectively,
distributes reliable information, complies with regulations and
operational principles, reaches its strategic goals, reacts to
changes in the market and operational environment, and that
business continuity is secured considering the financial
position.
The Company has identified the following three groups of risks
related to its operations: risks related to business operations
(country, customer, personnel, legal), risks related to information
and products (QPR products, IPR, data privacy, and security), and
risks related to financing and liquidity (foreign currency,
short-term cash flow).
The Company has an insurance policy covering property,
operational, and liability risks. Financial risks include
reasonable credit risk concerning individual business partners,
which is characteristic of any international business. QPR seeks to
limit this credit risk by continuously monitoring standard payment
terms, receivables, and credit limits.
Approximately 79% of the Group’s trade receivables were in euros
at the end of the quarter (70%). At the end of the quarter, the
Company had not hedged its non-euro trade receivables.

Change negotiations
In the second quarter of the fiscal year 2023, the company

of the business and to enhance the implementation of the company's
strategy. As a result of the change negotiations, 7 people were
dismissed from the company and about 39 people were laid off
part-time or full-time.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
Profit warning 16 October 2023
On 16 October 19, 2023, the company gave a profit warning saying
that it expects its EBITDA to become clearly positive in 2023.
According to previous guidance, the company expected its EBITDA to
improve significantly and reach the break-even point in the
financial year 2023. The improvement in profitability beyond
expectations has been influenced by the significant cost-saving
measures taken and the focus of sales on the more profitable SaaS
and software business as well as on consulting in these priority
areas.
As part of the profit warning the company stated that some of
the consulting projects in the domestic public sector outside the
core business have ended prematurely or they are occurring on a
smaller scope than originally expected. This will reduce the net
sales at the end of the year, and the company's net sales for the
whole fiscal year will remain at the level of the previous year,
while the growing software business compensates for the
decrease. The company's SaaS net sales is expected to
continue to grow by more than 35% from last year, and business
activities outside of consulting will grow as a whole.
Change negotiations notice 19 October 2023
On 19 October 2023, QPR Software Plc announced that it will
submit a negotiation proposal per the Act on Cooperation to start
the change negotiations. The company has previously announced that
as part of its strategy, it is re-positioning itself even more
strongly as a software and SaaS player and as a consultant for its
core business areas as well as a leading player in Digital Twin of
an Organization (DTO) technology.
In change negotiations, the company deals with measures aimed at
adapting the company's operation, structure, and related personnel
costs to reflect the change in business focus and the company's
long-term vision and goals.
The scope of the negotiations includes the personnel of the
company's consulting business unit, in all offices, a total of 14
people.
According to preliminary estimates, the measures that may be
implemented after the change negotiations could lead to temporary
layoffs of the personnel of the consulting business unit for a
maximum of 90 days and, in addition, to the termination of a
maximum of nine (9) positions.
The negotiations will start on 26 October 2023 and last two (2)
weeks following the Act on Cooperation.
